It is truly with mixed emotions that I write this welcome. As a fellow breeder, I never want to see a major player within the breed disperse, but as history tells us in the purebred livestock business, this is the cycle and new breeders will emerge. If one were asked who the top Polled Dorset flock has been for the past 25 years, the first name to come to mind would no doubt be Riverwood Farms. The show ring success has been phenomenal but the impact the Riverwood genetics have had in flocks throughout the nation is incredible. I personally can attest to the positive influence the Riverwood Farms genetics have had in my program. This sale is a tremendous opportunity for every breeder to capture some genetics that would not be for sale except for this dispersal. I encourage all Polled Dorset breeders to seriously consider acquiring seed stock from this once in a lifetime opportunity sale. Study the pedigrees, there are sheep here that can work for you. A sincere Thank You to the folks who have been involved through the years at Riverwood Farms for your contribution to the Polled Dorset breed James Klingbiel, Tom Henry, Ron Guenther, Dr. Kurt Johnson, Jeremy Etzler, Dave Harmann, Eric Bruns and all others that have been a part of the Riverwood Farms success story. It is an absolute honor to have been asked to manage and auctioneer this sale. If you can t make it to the sale, contact one of the sale crew listed in the general information and be represented with a mail bid. I look forward to seeing you in Powell, Ohio on May 12. Gary Saylor

Dynasty was Champion ram at the 2010 Ohio State Fair. Half interest sold to Poynter and Crome of IL.He sired the Champion ewe at this year s Ohio sale. He has a great Dorset head and is truly a stud buck. Full interest and full possession sells. Lot 2- Premium Pickle Riverwood Farms 5409 RR Born: D- Riverwood Farms 4464 S- Wooden Pickle RF 3684 ET D- RF 4056 ET Premium Pickle is the ram I cannot say enough about, with exception of his sire Primo, the breed s only two time National Champion ram, Riverwood s greatest creation!!! He was the 2011 National Champion ram, he has sired the best headed ram at the 2012 National Show as well as the National sale. He sires sheep that are longer than tall. He has that cocky look of a stud and passes it on. Shepherd s View purchased half interest as a fall lamb. Full interest and full possession sells. Lot 3- Gemini Riverwood Farms 5508AI QR Born: Twin S- Quest Riverwood Farms 515 S- Legacy CCF S831 D- Myers AV1346 D- Riverwood Farms 5077 Lot 47 Some would say we went backwards with the AI mating to Quest, however Gemini gave us what we were looking for, depth of body, spring of rib, overall easy fleshing. Price of feed is not coming down, so we wanted a ram that would lessen our number one expense. Gemini s mother was Reserve Champion at NAILE and a full sister to Dynasty. 1 Lot 4- YEARLING RAMS Riverwood Farms 5787 QR Born: S- Premium Pickle Riverwood Farms 5409 D- Riverwood Farms 5225 Lot 48 In the fall crop of 11, 5787 and True Grit were the standout ram lambs.

Lot 5- Riverwood Farms 5808 RR Born: Twin S- Riverwood Farms 5683 D- Riverwood Farms 5391 ET Champion slick ram from NAILE. This one truly surprised us. We never thought he would grow into such an impressive ram. Up headed, cool fronted, long, thick topped with a high tail set. This guy has 4685 three times in his pedigree. That, blended with the Quest influence really sets him apart. Good enough to be shown naked, big enough to be fitted. Come November he will be a contender.

One of the nicest balanced rams, he is simply fault free and walks on a tremendous amount of bone. He would have been our next ram to continue to move our program in the right direction. In our line breeding program, he was just enough of an out cross with the RazzMaTazz grand dam Van Bair 2531 to really click. Not to mention he has been Cruz s pick since he got here last May.

FALL RAM LAMBS Note: This is the deepest set of fall rams we have had since 2006 when we had the High Definition lambs.
